Ciencia Ergo Sum ISSN: 1405-0269 [email protected] Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México México Manjarrez Silva, Javier Selección natural, genética cuantitativa y evolución en culebras Ciencia Ergo Sum, vol. 8, núm. 1, marzo, 2001 Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México Toluca, México Available in: http://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=10402007 Abstract This article describes concepts and techniques utilized in quantitative genetics and natural selection, with particular attention to components of phenotypic variation and their methodological reduction. Snakes are used to illustrate characteristics which justify the application of this type of study, particularly for the estimation of the heredability of quantitative characteristics in snake populations. Possible genetic origins and evolutionary repercussions are discussed. Keywords natural selection, quantitative genetics, evolution, heredability, snakes.
